root projects to IB (Interbrain)

Species: Rat
Result: absent
Method: retrograde tracer
Sign: unknown
Evidence: A retrograde AAV2/Retro vector expressing EGFP was successfully delivered into the anterior lobe of the pituitary, yet no fluorescent cell bodies were found in any brain region or nucleus when the whole brain was surveyed, arguing against a direct neural projection to the anterior lobe.
